Combination Wallet Tool

Abstract

A combination wallet tool includes a pair of hinged, mating shells which define a closed chamber when closed and latched. The chamber is partitioned to provide areas in which currency, cards and papers may be kept. A money clip is built into at least one of the shells. The mating surfaces of the shells are sealed by an O-ring to keep water from entering the chamber. Recesses which serve as secret compartments are molded into one of the shells and interchangeable partitioned trays are provided for the other shell.
